Matvey Safonov, the ex-goalkeeper of Krasnodar, is currently on the hunt for a new apartment in the city of Paris.
Paris Saint-Germain's Matvey Safonov Remains with the Club Amid Transfer Rumours
In the summer of 2025, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) added two new faces to their squad - Zabarnyi and goalkeeper Luca Chevalier. Amidst this change, one name that continues to stand out is that of Matvey Safonov, the backup goalkeeper at the club.
Safonov, who joined PSG last year for a fee of 20 million euros, has been a consistent presence in the team. Despite offers from various clubs, Safonov has chosen to remain with PSG, with no concrete details available about his apartment search or future plans post-PSG.
Rumours of Safonov's possible departure have resurfaced, but the Russian goalkeeper has made it clear that he has no intention of leaving the French capital. Paris now feels like home to him, and he prioritizes staying at a high level and playing in tournaments where his talent will be fully revealed.
The competition for Safonov at PSG is not new, as he has previously faced competition from the likes of Donnarumma. However, football expert Manvel Oganesyan believes that the competition is no more difficult now than it was with Donnarumma.
Safonov's impressive debut season, during which he played 17 matches in all competitions and conceded 13 goals, has been praised by experts for his ability to rise to the challenge and show professionalism. His performances have earned him the admiration of fans and pundits alike.
Despite the arrival of Chevalier, Safonov and the Ukrainian player Ilya Zabarnyi have been training together without any reported conflicts. However, there have been rumours of difficulties due to PSG's interest in Zabarnyi, and reports about potential moves to clubs like Galatasaray and Bournemouth.
Despite these rumours, no concrete offers have materialized during the season's preparation. Safonov, who is known to be a dog lover, has even shared a photo of him with his large dog on his social media, suggesting that he is settling into his life in Paris.
As the season progresses, it remains to be seen whether Safonov will stay with PSG or move to a new club. One thing is certain - Safonov is a talented goalkeeper who is determined to continue his impressive form and make a name for himself in the world of football.
